Brookhaven Day School Trusses CAD Design In the current economy many buildings are being re-worked, re-furbished, re-purposed, especially if they are in an excellent location for their new purpose. Brrokhave Day School in Greensboro, NC will be one such project that exemplifies this form. We will be constructing a porto-co-chere for the building. The wood has just arrived here in the beamery.

Wonky Fairy Tale Cottage

While not 'historic' in the terms of what happened there. I think it IS historic because it is still being used as a home today. The house dates from the 1590's. To give you some historic perspective: the Roanoke Colony in Virginia vanishes around this time. In 1604 Galileo proves the theory of gravity.  Jamestown was founded in Virginia. The house was examined a few years ago by a team of structural engineers and has been certified as sound.

Advantages of   Timber Frames....

    

They are stronger and more durable than studwall or stick built frames.

 
With SIP's or structural insulated panels as insulation they are more efficient than stud wall/fiberglass structures, and even stronger.
 
They are expected top last centuries as their forebearers in Europe have done. Better building materials such as roofing, flashing etc are available.
 
There are NO load bearing walls in timber frame structures, allowing changes to the floor plan with no structural consequences.
 
They can have as many doors or windows as desired.
 
The working structure of the timber frame array can be seen, studied, and enjoyed.
 
Walls are straighter. Look down stickbuilt walls and compare with thimber frame walls.
